In Liberal Illinois???? I love Bruce Rauner! The Illinois Department of Corrections wants to force a Colored murderer Anthony Spaulding, 37, to pay back the $518,841 it has cost to keep him locked up for the last 18 years, according to a lawsuit filed in Will County court.

The Illinois Department of Corrections wants to force a murderer to pay back the $518,841 it has cost to keep him locked up for the last 18 years, according to a lawsuit filed in Will County court.

IDOC determined the price of housing Anthony Spaulding, 37, by “computing the average per capita cost per day for the operation of that institution or facility (where he has been incarcerated) for the preceding fiscal year,” the lawsuit said.

Spaulding is currently doing time at Stateville Correctional Center.

Spaulding and three other men were charged with gunning down a man and woman in Chicago in 1994, according to a petition he filed in federal court. He was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison in 1997.
